In patients hospitalized for COVID-19 , both acute and chronic myocardial injury impact survival at 6 months. In addition, the risk does not disappear after the acute phase of the ...
Colchicine does not offer protection against myocardial injury in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction when administered during reperfusion and in the following five days , ...
The predecessor of this research— RIPCORD , published in 2014—showed that using fractional flow reserve (FFR) changes the treatment strategy in about 25% of patients. That marked the rise ...
When we have to choose between two potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors for a patient undergoing ACS with a planned invasive strategy, kidney function should not interfere in this decision. ...
What triggered this study was a long unanswered question: should patients successfully resuscitated from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest presenting a non-STEMI ECG be immediately taken to ...
Courtesy of Dr. José Álvarez. In patients at high bleeding risk with drug-eluting stents, the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy has been subjected to ongoing review. ...
The enthusiasm for direct oral anticoagulants after transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) is waning. At least, when it combines with atrial fibrillation. The ENVISAGE-TAVI AF has ...
The results of the STEP study were presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2021 Congress ! The main finding from this research was that an ideal target of ...
What Is “Greenness”? This factor —which generally refers to the proximity to vegetation, as measured by satellite pictures— could serve as a new protection against ...
The full results of the EMPEROR-Preserved study confirm as findings that empagliflozin decreases the risk of death or hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in both patients with reduced ...
When we have to choose between two potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors for a patient undergoing ACS with a planned invasive strategy, kidney function should not interfere in this decision. ...

The ACST-2 was designed to compare long-term outcomes of carotid artery stenting (CAS) vs carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with asymptomatic stenosis. ...
The enthusiasm for direct oral anticoagulants after transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) is waning. At least, when it combines with atrial fibrillation. The ENVISAGE-TAVI AF has ...
Early intervention in asymptomatic valvular heart disease, age recommendations to decide between TAVR and surgery for aortic stenosis, and a push in favor of transcatheter repair in secondary ...
